I can't get Marcie and my husband to "bond" with each other. I get the feeling that my husband's feelings are kind of hurt because Marcie basically ignores him. She will play with him occasionally, but it is me that she follows around and talks to. Whenever I sit down, she is automatically in my lap. When she is home with my husband, she just ignores him all day. She will greet me at the door, but not him. I told him that it is because I am the person that feeds, medicates, and otherwise takes care of her. I suggested that we get a bag of treats and that he occasionally give her a treat, so that she associates him with yummy happy things....any other suggestions?
BTW, I have always been around animals (mostly dogs) but my husband has really never had a pet that he "bonded" with...how do I teach this?
